Filmizing (a.k.a. Filmlook) is a generic and informal term referring to a process which makes videotape productions appear as if they were shot on film. This process is usually electronic, although filmizing can sometimes occur as an un-intentional by-product of some optical techniques such as telerecording. Process (lat. ...

Frame rate 50Hz interlaced video (usually used with most forms of PAL and SECAM) can be relatively easily processed to give 25 progressive frames per second, which the framerate that the PAL/SECAM telecine process also uses. Every two video fields can be "blended" together, every other field can be decimated and the remaining fields can be shown for double the length (this noticeably reduces vertical resolution), or a motion estimation process can be applied to achieve one frame out of every two fields. This technique is sometimes called Field-removed video or FRV. Some modern PAL video cameras do offer the ability to produce 25 frame-per-second progressive video, negating the requirement of post-processing the video to get a temporal similarity to film.

On the other hand, it is much more complicated to convert 60Hz interlaced video (used with NTSC and PAL-M) to a framerate resembling that of film. Doing the same as PAL/SECAM filmizing will yield 30 frame-per-second video, which is significantly faster than film. Two out of every five fields could be dropped (and 3:2 Pulldown can be applied to the remaining fields), but any motion after this process will look very uneven. Sophisticated computer motion estimation and field blending is usually used to convert NTSC video to 24 frames-per-second - something which could not have been done until recently, and still does not yield as realistic results as PAL filmizing conversion. NTSC is the analog television system in use in Korea, Japan, United States, Canada and certain other places, mostly in the Americas (see map). ...

Many computer editing programs can de-interlace video to give it more of a film look. Interlacing results in the horizontal scan lines that have come to define the "video" look. An interlaced frame is actually the combination of 2 fields -- an upper and a lower. By de-interlacing, the frame resembles that of a film frame. The catch is that most editing programs achieve de-interlacing by deleting one of the fields. The result gives half the vertical resolution of the original frame, and sometimes adds a jagged effect to the picture. Deinterlacing the process of converting interlaced video (a sequence of fields) into a non-interlaced form (a sequence of frames). ...
Grading The footage may also be graded to have more of a "filmic look". In America, this process is often referred to by the trademarked process called "FilmLook", Magic Bullet or the more generic "Cine Look". Color grading is the process of altering and enhancing the color of a motion picture or television image, either electronically, photo-chemically or digitally. ...
Depth of field There are solutions which add the typical shallow depth of field often associated with 35mm film productions, but they have to be done during production, not in post. These solutions consist of regular 35 mm lenses and of an adapter which allow these lenses to be used on regular video cameras. These adapters project the image by the 35 mm lens onto a ground glass, which is in turn filmed by the camera itself. See depth-of-field adapter. A sample ground glass showing the Academy 1. ...
A shallow DOF adapter is used in conjunction with digital video camcorders to achieve optical film-like shallow depth of field with manual- or auto-focus lenses on a camera whose CCD size is not adequate enough to achieve it natively. ...
Filmized productions Many modern TV productions outside North America use the filmizing process, as television shows elsewhere (unlike their American counterparts) frequently are not given a budget significant enough to allow filming, which costs significantly more than modern video recordings. Also, it is easier to effectively 'filmize' most PAL/SECAM video (used in most countries outside North America and Japan) than it is to do the same with NTSC recordings. Productions that have been filmized include: See TV (disambiguation) for other uses and Television (band) for the rock band European networks National In much of Europe television broadcasting has historically been state dominated, rather than commercially organised, although commercial stations have grown in number recently. ...

Limitations Footage that has been shot with the knowledge that it will be subsequently electronically filmized is usually shot in a very different way, with film-style lighting and framing. Regardless, there have been several attempts to process ordinary videotape to look like film, usually with little success. Notable examples include Red Dwarf Remastered - digitally remastered versions of the first three series of Red Dwarf. As well as being filmized, the episodes had been cropped to widescreen and had all their special effects remade. It was released on VHS in the mid-1990s and was panned by critics and fans alike. However, this was more due to the special effects and script changes rather than the filmized look itself.[citation needed] Lighting refers to either artificial light sources such as lamps or to natural illumination of interiors from daylight. ...

BBC hospital drama-soap Casualty also flirted briefly with the filmizing process in the mid-1990s, but it was quickly dropped after viewer complaints that the show "looked wrong". The same happened with Emmerdale where it was used for 7 episodes in October 2002 before being quietly dropped. Casualty is a long-running BBC television drama serial, first broadcast in 1986 and transmitted on BBC One. ...

Ironically, the fantasy series Neverwhere was a video-based production which suffered as a result of having been shot and lit with filmization in mind.

Filmizing success stories include The League of Gentlemen, Spaced and The Office, all of which can fool most people into believing they were shot on film. The Fox show Arrested Development used an elaborate post-production process to adjust colors and brightness levels to match those of film stock.
